Title:	Debian Security Advisory DSA 176-1 (gv)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to gv announced via advisory DSA 176-1. Zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow in gv, a PostScript and PDF viewer for X11. This problem is triggered by scanning the PostScript file and can be exploited by an attacker sending a malformed PostScript or PDF file. The attacker is able to cause arbitrary code to be run with the privileges of the victim. This problem has been fixed in version 3.5.8-26.1 for the current stable distribution (woody), in version 3.5.8-17.1 for the old stable distribution (potato) and version 3.5.8-27 for the unstable distribution (sid). We recommend that you upgrade your gv package. Solution: https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%20176-1 CVSS Score: 4.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
